About this product
Product Information
Winner of the 2019 GLCA New Writers Award An NPR Best Book of 2018 In this highly lyrical, imagistic debut, Marcelo Hernandez Castillo creates a nuanced narrative of life before, during, and after crossing the US/Mexico border. These poems explore the emotional fallout of immigration, the illusion of the American dream via the fallacy of the nuclear family, the latent anxieties of living in a queer brown undocumented body within a heteronormative marriage, and the ongoing search for belonging. Finding solace in the resignation to sheer possibility, these poems challenge us to question the potential ways in which two people can interact, love, give birth, and mourn--sometimes all at once.

Reviews
"In the collection, which takes its title from the Spanish word for birdsong, to sing of one's undocumented life is to risk being consumed by it: 'The song becoming / the bird becoming / the song,' the poet writes. 'The bird unraveled its song and became undone.' And yet, in the collection's first poem, the desire to tell the story is also inescapable." --The Paris Review "Castillo resists resignation to silence; his poems embody a belief in art's transformative ability. Lush musicality renders agricultural labor, corporeal punishment, and romantic difficulties beautiful. Forged in Keatsian negative capability, Castillo's poetics often involve finding the description that will lift the painful or unjust into music." --Publishers Weekly -Tara Wanda Merrigan "I know this book changed me. The book itself knows change, how to change itself, knows so well how transformation--vast essential change which would seem to oppose a self--brings a person ever closer to their truth." --Brenda Shaughnessy "In the spirit of Whitman, Marcelo Hernandez Castillo slips in silently to lie down between the bridegroom and the bride, to inhabit many bodies and many souls, between rapture and grief. 'I want everything to touch me.' These are poems that open borders both personal and political, a map of silences and celebrations. 'You called it cutting apart/ I called it song.'" --D. A. Powell "Federico Garcia Lorca described duende as a struggle, not a thought, and the deep and natural lyricism of Marcelo Hernandez Castillo's Cenzontle is a paragon of that struggle, where 'it's easy to make honey/from what is beautiful and what is not.' In this exquisite debut collection, longing twins with inheritance to consider the interiority of nationhood and the legacy of masculinity and exile. Castillo's finely-honed poems celebrate and reveal the contours of physical and historical intimacies, a feast for the eyes and heart." --Carmen Giménez Smith, "In the collection, which takes its title from the Spanish word for birdsong, to sing of one's undocumented life is to risk being consumed by it: 'The song becoming / the bird becoming / the song,' the poet writes. 'The bird unraveled its song and became undone.'

Was sent the wrong item. I ordered a CD and I received an LP instead. Two different places on the description said that it was a used CD in good condition. When I emailed the seller about it I got a generic reply telling me that they would get to it when they can and that if I send a second message it will just delay the process. That is terrible customer service. If they have time to send me an email message at all then they have time to initiate a refund or to answer the question I asked.

The book arrived in a plastic envelope with not protection and unfortunately it looked like the book was damaged in transit because of it. The items original ETA was April 18th but arrived on April 22nd. I requested a refund after seeing the quality of the book and the seller responded with a full refund and an apology for the quality. I really appreciated the customer service but was sad to see the book not in the quality described.

Thank you so much for the quick response and delivery. I have not ordered from eBay in many years. You have renewed my trust that there are some professional sellers I can work with through eBay not just Amazon. Thanks again!☺️
